Set Timescale of One Layer

Is there a way to Pick one layer and set the Timescale to 0 (pause) while the other layer(s) are active?

I have one main layer where the action takes place and then the layer that I want to use for the main menu/game over/pause screen.

There's probably a lot I don't know about Timescales, though. LOL

Thanks for your help!

Just put everything you don't want paused into a family, then set that family's timescale to 1 after you pause the game.

sqiddster - Aaaah! Brilliant!

sqiddster - Well, that stopped all the objects presently on the screen. But it didn't keep the objects from spawning new ones. The system is still moving forward, timers still ticking down...

Well if you're setting the global timescale to zero, it means you've forgotten to use dt somewhere if things are still happening.

If that's the case, likely with the platform spawning objects...

...I'm going to try to add all GAMEPLAY events into a very large, single group and disable it when paused/game over... I'll also check on the dt issue.

SUCCESS: pending

You can do that, but you should just try to use dt properly in the first place since it will cause other problems.
